Pregnancy has its gifts as well as its curse. It gives every woman to bring into life what his other counterpart cannot do. Pregnancy allows her to experience pregnancy glows that make her skin, nail, and hair to look gloriously beautiful. Her condition also gives her the freedom to do much of what she wants to do and how she wants them to be done. She becomes a queen ready to give an order that others are so willing to do. Even with all these and other benefits of pregnancy, any expecting woman will also feel the need for emotional, physical, and social support.
